This is one of my very favorite DIY’s to do. It’s easy and doesn’t take a lot of time. It can make a big impact and it’s fairly cheap so you get a lot of bang for your buck! This can be done in so many places in your house like a bedroom or bathroom, or even a backsplash in your kitchen. The color and texture can easily be customized and the options are endless. I’ve worked with this faux brick several different times and used a few different techniques that I will share and walk you through my favorite one.
The faux brick comes in panels that measure 8ft x 4ft and can be found at Lowes or Home Depot. The price is very similar at both places. I have noticed that the color is slightly different so it just depends on your preference and what look you are going for. The panels from Lowes have a darker “grout” line and the panels from Home Depot have lighter “grout” lines.
You can have these cut to your specific measurements at the store or you can cut everything at home if you have the correct tools. For this project you will need
- Circular Saw
- Jigsaw
- Utility Knife/Exacto Knife
- Nail Gun or small finishing nails and hammer
- Grout
- Paint in your choice of color
If you do get your panels cut to the measurements you need, you will still need to make cuts for outlets or windows depending on where you are putting the brick. If you are making cuts for an outlet, a sharp razor or utility knife will work great. You can use the same to cut bigger areas for a window, but it might be easier and faster to use a saw.
The panels tend to make a mess when cutting them. They are essentially made from cardboard and will create a lot of dust everywhere. I suggest cutting this either outside or in your garage before bringing it inside for the install.
If you cut this yourself, my first choice would be to to use a hand saw - this will give you the smoothest cut and its the easiest and fastest way to cut the panels. My second choice would be a jigsaw with a smaller/fine blade. A bigger blade will not give you a neat finished edge like a smaller blade will.
The first way you can use this paneling is going to be the fastest and easiest. This style does not require any grouting or painting. To do this, you simply measure the space you need, make the appropriate cuts, and then nail it to the wall. You’ll want to line up the brick to make the panels run together and look as seamless as possible. This was actually my first project using the faux brick, and at the time I liked the way it turned out but with any DIY project you learn a lot as you go. After doing this a few more times, I definitely prefer the grouting and painting technique because of the way the final product looks.
The second way and my personal favorite way:) is to measure, cut, and attach the panels to the wall. Once the panels are in place, I then use grout to fill in all the spaces between the brick. I also spread grout where each panel meets to fill-in any gaps and to make it look seamless.
I like to use a razor to smooth the grout - this is where you can get creative though, you can make the grout as messy or as smooth as you would like depending on the look you want! Using grout will give this a more realistic look, making it seem like you used actual brick and mortar on your walls.
Once the grout is dry, it's time to paint! At our first JaxnBlvd location I used the grouting technique and then used a paintbrush, randomly painting some of the bricks white to give it an aged feel and to make it look more neutral in color.
I recently installed this on a wall in our new store and I again used the grouting technique, and then painted the whole thing including the shelf and brackets green. (I really love green!) I used Behr paint in the color Army Green. You can buy this at Home Depot or Lowes can color match for you! This only took a few hours from start to finish including the paint and installing the shelves.
The paneling is thin, so you can easily hang things on it to decorate. It's also thin enough to sit right on top of any builder grade baseboards so there's no need to remove the baseboards in order to do this project. I’ve definitely gotten faster each time I’ve done this, but it’s still a totally doable project that can easily be done in a weekend:)

LEGIT CRYPTO RECOVERY TEAM USA TO WORK WITH 2025:How I Reclaimed My $450K After a Devastating Wallet Hack
In early June 2025, my life was turned upside down when I discovered that my crypto wallet had been hacked. I had stored over $450,000 worth of Bitcoin, accumulated through years of savings, strategic investments, and market timing. It was more than just money—it represented my financial future, my family’s security, and countless hours of research and effort.
I first noticed something was wrong when I received a transaction alert that I didn’t authorize. By the time I logged in, I watched in disbelief as my balance dropped to zero. My Bitcoin had been swept clean by what I later learned were automated wallet sweepers —malicious bots designed to empty compromised wallets the moment they detect a vulnerability or exposed private key.
I felt violated and helpless. I reached out to the wallet provider, reported it to local authorities, and even tried to analyze the blockchain trails myself. But the reality hit hard: crypto thefts are usually irreversible, and in most cases, the funds are gone for good.
Just when I was ready to give up, a friend in a crypto forum mentioned Cloudstrike Cybersecurity Company. I was skeptical at first—there are so many fake recovery services out there preying on victims like me. But Cloudstrike was different. They had a professional website, clear communication, and verifiable success stories. Desperate but cautious, I reached out.
From the very beginning, their team was transparent, knowledgeable, and meticulous. They conducted a full forensic analysis of my wallet activity and traced the stolen Bitcoin through several obfuscation layers, including mixers and wallets on the dark web. What impressed me the most was how they leveraged blockchain intelligence tools and legal collaboration to freeze and eventually recover a substantial portion of my funds.
It took several weeks of coordination, but to my amazement, they were able to help me retrieve nearly 90% of my lost Bitcoin. I honestly never thought I’d see that money again.
If you’re reading this and have gone through something similar, don’t lose hope—but be extremely careful. There are very few legitimate crypto recovery services out there, and Cloudstrike is one of the rare ones that actually delivers. I owe them more than I can express in words and just incase you need a consultation with them , they can be reached through either of the contact details below:

The instant I hit send, a wave of trepidation washed over me. Panic set in as I realized I had fallen victim to a scam. The exhilaration I felt moments before transformed into disbelief and regret.
